compatibility files problem

I do a lot of modding of programs and games and everytime I create or
save things in vista x64 sp1 it never goes into the folder I tell it to
instead theirs this "compatibility files" thing in the top on the
explorer bar where thing are put. I then have to cut and paste them out
of there to make anything work. Is there a way to turn this feature off?
It's driving me nuts!

This is the File Virtualization in action. This virtualization is intended
to prevent unauthorized access to the Program Files folder, which was always
a target for malicious programs.

File Virtualization is a component of Uaser Account Control. If you turn UAC
off, FV will be disabled. The problem is that this may result in Access
Denied errors, when you try to write to or save files to those folder under
program Files.

If you have specific folders that you need to access, you will need to
change the Permissions on those folders to give your account access to them.

This is usually the result of programs that are not compatible with Vista.
Tthere is a document that explains how all of this works and how an
application can easily be configured to work without any virtualization
being involved. You can download this document at the following location.
